general anaconda/lorax/pungi/... issues

• the addrsize utility isn't built in anaconda any more and thus lorax fails after writing kernel.img and initrd.img => moved to lorax - patch
• anaconda dropped the mk-s390-cdboot tool in version 16 => remove relevant code also from lorax - patch
• pungi shouldn't include s390 compat packages in the installer image/repo - patch
